Spider People: Current Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Neutral -1 shift); Conjuration magic (+4), Necromancy Magic (+3); Civilization (+5)
So currently they live isolated from one another making infiltration of the Spider People Very difficult. (Individual Webs - Dimension Door communication network - Ruler: First-Mother); Minor Necromancy Magic among a few due to influences by Undead Snake and Scorpion Men.

The Map (by triangles of number): (all squares have sky-stone and sky-metals on or in them from the First Cataclysm)
- One: fertile valleys - once inhabited by the First Ones ("boogie-men") who had a city and farmed the valleys though they were killed in the first Cataclysm; now inhabited by the spider-folk and skeletal-folk
- Two: inhabited by sapient land-octopi
- Three: mineral-rich mountain ranges inhabited by sapient beetle/fly-folk
- Four: mineral-rich mountain ranges, inhabited by the new snake-folk
- Five: mineral-rich mountain ranges that are atop a mile-high plateu that is very (nicely) warm despite its height - inhabited by Dwarves (originally with stone tools, now distinct civilization) that have been greatly harmed by the First Cataclysm; inhabited by the new scorpion-folk
- Six: inhabited by the treant-folk
- Seven: wet and warm jungle-cum-marsh - originally inhabited by sapient plant-men and bug-men (advancement) who live in a symbiotic relationship but who were killed off in the First Cataclysm; now inhabited by the ooze-folk
- Eight: basin desert - once inhabited by (now undead) scorpion-men, who have a destroyed and corrupt city in its heart; inhabited by barely sentient carnivorous bulls
- Nine: - once inhabited by snake-folk before the cataclysm they are now all undead here; inhabited by alien grays
- Ten: mineral rich land - inhabited by crow-folk
- Eleven:
- Twelve: shallow ocean - inhabited by merfolk
- Thirteen: shallow ocean
- Fourteen:
- Fifteen:
- Sixteen: wet and warm jungle-cum-shallow sea with a system of extended caverns and filled with giant mangroves that cause flooding in the caverns - once inhabited by kobolds and winged kobolds who originally lived in the caverns, but instead moved to the trees when the mangrove catastrophe occurred; home of the first kobold city (Mangroves; advancement)
- Seventeen: wet and warm jungle-cum-marshland, source of the second great kobold city (advancement) that was destroyed in the first cataclysm; there are extremely deep tunnels and even deeper Vaults built by the kobolds and inhabited by samples collected of every race in existance kept safely therein and warded with ancient and powerful magics - the third kobold city (advancement x2, and improved foundation and solidity of construction); it has a new great fourth kobold city on the surface (advancement, defensive parimeter) that is home to the kobolds and is also home to all the other pre-cataclysm races (having been kept and re-bred by the kobolds)
- Eighteen:
- Nineteen: shallow ocean
- Twenty: once inhabited by nearly-deceased race of thickly furred ape-folk (advancement) that now reside in 17
Civilizations:
- First Ones ("boogey-men"): advancement, caves provide shelter, they keep ancestral bones in the back of caves, they hunt great beasts, they are magic users; nearly deceased at the end of the first age, some now live with the kobolds
- Dwarves: stone tools in the mountains -> underground society dominating their home; they were greatly weakened by the cataclysm, though their deepest levels survived it.
- Kobolds: featherless dromaeosaurids (small velociraptor-like dinosaurs) ascended into a full sapience. A selected few specimens are granted magical powers and grow a pairs of wings in addition to their existing limbs creating a subrace of winged kobolds. They practice draconic shamanism, and are skilled boatsman; they herd and tame the insects, serpents, and lizards of the mangroves; they have a City of Mangroves that is a center of Alchemy (and are exceptionally good with sky-metals and sky-stones) and the origin of Writing. The kobolds have invented: astronomy, mining, metallurgy, deep mining, and magic (abjuration, conjuration, necromancy (especially advanced twice from the scorpoin-folk), and transmutation). By the power of their god they were saved from a cataclysm deep below the earth, thus by their god's mandate, they saved all creatures from the next by bringing a few deep below the earth.
- Merfolk: some live with the kobolds
- Scorpion-folk: advancement x3 (and all magic, especially necromancy x12); nearly all were undead (except those bred by the kobolds) after the cataclysm until they were remade, the undead corrupt the kobolds and spider-folk with their necromancy
- Snake-folk: all magic, especially necromancy x12; nearly all were undead (except those living with the kobolds) after the cataclysm, until they were remade
- Plant-folk: they live in symbiosis with the insect-folk; nearly destroyed by the end of the First Age, they now reside with the kobolds
- Insect-folk: they live in symbiosis with the plant-folk; nearly destroyed by the end of the First Age, they now reside with the kobolds
- Ape-folk: thickly furred, nearly deceased at the end of the first age they now reside with the kobolds
- Spider-folk: chaotic neutral, advancement x5 (also slightly corrupted and especially potent in conjuration (x9) and necromancy (x3) from the scorpion-folk); in response to corruption, they lived in relatively isolated webs that required extreme methods of infiltration to avoid further corruption, but now they have universally (accept for those corrupted) departed to the Planes; they are ruled by a First Mother
- Skeletal-folk: humanoids
- land octopi: academics
- beetle/fly-folk: academics
- bulls-folk: carnivorous, barely sentient
- treat-folk: academics
- ooze-folk: academics
- gray-folk: academics
- crow-folk: academics
Avatars:
lucky7: Giant Floating Eye (father of First Ones and Dwarves)
Drejk: Great Serpentine Rescuer
ulgulanoth: Herald of Undeath
Tacticslion: Lion Blade, Guardinal
Magic (across the whole world):
conjuration: advancement +4
necromancy: advancement +5
(Also, if I have a vote, I vote this age lasts a little longer, yet. Also also, when do I roll for new points? Each day?)
EDIT: ((Also also also, let me know if I got something wrong. I'll update it.))
EDIT 2: Also times four, if Drejk doesn't want it, I'll claim Lord of Cataclysm this turn. If he does, he has absolutely no contest from me, as I'm not remotely interested in taking that instead of anyone who wants it.
Also part five, despite the fact that I can see that it looks like it in retrospect, I'm not actually targeting you ulgulanoth. Aheh. Oops.
EDIT: I edited this thing a lot.
i think the consensus is roll 1/day or once everyone has rolled once so you could get more than one roll per day
Okay! Awesome, thanks!
I propose new rules for "players" for clarity.
1) if you have not rolled on either the last page or the last day (whichever is longer) people need not wait on you to roll. (Exception: if, somehow, only one player has posted on a page and it's been more than a day, they cannot make a roll more than once every twelve hours; if a single player multiple-posts to the point of being the only one on a page, they get only one roll per day (calendar date). Other players are considered "inactive" for voting, rolling, and current play, though they can resume playing at any time.
2) any player may start at any time
3) a new player rolls one additional 1d6 per age of the world (for a total of 4d6 in this age) on their first turn instead of 3d6. (As I am a new player, this wouldn't count for me unless you guys say, "go for it", however, it is to encourage additional activity and new players by giving them an "edge" in a world already otherwise established group).
4) once per age a player may roll one additional 1d6 (this is cumulative (this balances part three to some extent, again, I wouldn't be counted much here, as I wasn't here last era); (this means that you guys would roll 1d6 extra at two different times - one for the first era, and one for the second, but I would only get one)
Do these sound good? (I am, obviously, presumed to vote for all four.)
Voting means number 1 needs three votes (for a majority including the inactive players) but, if it passes, the others need only two (making a majority of active players).
Also, for my purposes...
Ages: the first age (500 years per round), the second age (100 years per round), the third age (10 years per round).
We are now finished with the first age, with the fall of the Skystones, in CY 15,500. It took five hundred years for that even to resolve itself, allowing all creatures to being returning and starting the second age in CY 16,000.
There have been 22 (more or less) "turns" since the great cataclysm (unless there have been more due to days passing, I don't know); the current year is thus CY 18,200.

How to play
Each round each player rolls 3d6. These points are used to buy events that occur on the world map. Unused points can be stockpiled to buy major events. The events are Regional only.
The World Map
Our World Map is a flattened out d20...this looks like 20 assorted triangles. So five up-pointing triangles at the top (left to right 1-5), ten triangles at the equator (5 up/5 down) (Left to right 6-15), and five down-pointing triangles at the bottom (left to right 16-20). Numbering them 1-20 allows us to play this without a display map...just draw your own.
Also, since no one else has gone...
Command Avatar: Guardinal to become the Regulator. Costs 1 point.

To be clear, guys, I've got some suggestions and neat (to me) ideas that you might like. Thus the "conspiring". If you want, I can PM you, but if you'd rather, I can post them here on the boards.
